UNC Kappa Epsilon and Zeta Tau Alpha Join Forces to Make a Difference

Info

Kappa Epsilon, a pharmaceutical service fraternity at UNC-Chapel Hill and Zeta Tau Alpha, a UNC sorority, joined forces to design and make close to 100 gift baskets for our patients receiving cancer treatment at UNC. The members of Kappa Epsilon came twice/weekly throughout April 2008 to distribute gift baskets, snacks, and encouragement to our families.

On April 4, 2008, members of Kappa Epsilon deliver care packages to The Patient and Family Resource Center in support of our cancer patients at UNC.

Close to 100 care packages were created through the efforts of Kappa Epsilon Service Fraternity and the Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority at UNC. Each package contained a copy of the cookbook by Holly Clegg, Eating Well Through Cancer, a silicon pot holder, water bottle, neck pillow, and hard candies. All items in the care packages were purchased with the funds these groups raised in support of this effort.

Karen Huey and Carol Rothstein receive a care package and sample the day’s snack treat from the Eating Well With Cancer cookbook. Fresh apples, graham crackers, and a creamy fruit dip provide a satisfying mid-afternoon treat.
